Metabolite Identification
Common NameLevosimendan
DescriptionLevosimendan, also known as simdax, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylhydrazines. Phenylhydrazines are compounds containing a phenylhydrazide moiety, which consists of a hydrazide substituent attached to a phenyl group. Levosimendan is marketed as a 2.5 mg/mL concentrated solution for IV infusion. Levosimendan is a drug which is used for short term treatment of acutely decompensated severe chronic heart failure (chf). also being investigated for use/treatment in heart disease. Levosimendan is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). It also has a vasodilatory effect, by opening adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive potassium channels in vascular smooth muscle to cause smooth muscle relaxation. However, the drug was proven to be superior to dobutamine for treating patients with a history of CHF or those on beta-blocker therapy when they are hospitalized with acute decompensations.The Orion Corporation originally developed levosimendan and applied for a new drug application in 1998 in the U.S. In total, the clinical data base includes more than 3500 patients in Phase IIb and III double-blind randomized studies. Levosimendan (INN) is a calcium sensitiser used in the management of acutely decompensated congestive heart failure. Initially, Orion obtained the approval to market the drug in Sweden in 2000. It is marketed under the trade name Simdax (Orion Corporation). Common adverse drug reactions (≥1% of patients) associated with levosimendan therapy include: headache, hypotension, arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, extrasystoles, Atrial tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia), myocardial ischaemia, hypokalaemia and/or nausea (Rossi, 2006).

General function:
Involved in inward rectifier potassium channel activity
Specific function:
This receptor is controlled by G proteins. Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into the cell rather than out of it. Their voltage dependence is regulated by the concentration of extracellular potassium; as external potassium is raised, the voltage range of the channel opening shifts to more positive voltages. The inward rectification is mainly due to the blockage of outward current by internal magnesium. Can be blocked by extracellular barium

General function:
Involved in calcium ion binding
Specific function:
Troponin is the central regulatory protein of striated muscle contraction. Tn consists of three components:Tn-I which is the inhibitor of actomyosin ATPase, Tn-T which contains the binding site for tropomyosin and Tn-C. The binding of calcium to Tn-C abolishes the inhibitory action of Tn on actin filaments
